Julie, I absolutely adore the urn! What a marvelous idea. I am a huge supporter of volunteering, but sometimes we've taken care of our responsibilities and it is someone else's turn. I am so proud of you. (It took me a long time before I came to that realization.) Enjoy your ponds. Bonnie

What a lovely pond you have! We have a much smaller one (100 gallons only), but it is still a responsibility if we want to keep the fish alive and well. But so worth it. I do love visiting with the fish in the evenings.

I love your pond. I need to read the backstory. I almost never volunteer anymore. Being an ex-girl scout leader and the community garden coordinator sucked the life out of me. Guess what ...somebody else always steps in!

Wait - so with the school fountain you were looking after a total of five fountains - (from memory think you said you had four yourself). You are the magical mystical water lady. I love that urn in it - it really makes it. The fish are so cool too - do the cats try and get them? I am so in love with our back fountain but its been a lot of work. Tempted to get one on our deck but....

About

I'm a stay at home mom with too many hobbies. I used to blog (monkeygrasshill.blgospot.com) about my DIY projects around the house and in the garden in our home right outside of Washington, DC. In the summer of 2013 my husband, son and I moved to London.
While things are definitely different on this side of the pond, I'm the same girl in a different city now.
Still hoarding house plants and tableware. Searching for treasures and entertaining whenever possible.
